Manchester City fans received a long-awaited gift before Christmas.
That's the contract renewal.
Manchester City's official website announced that the team officially renewed the contract with head coach Guardiola for a period of three years.
After coaching Manchester City in 2009, Guardiola's coaching style has been fully reflected in Manchester City. Although the performance was not good in the first season, with the joining of Su Dong and the arrival of strong reinforcements, Guardiola's coaching style has been fully reflected in Manchester City.
The passing and controlling system has been fully demonstrated and has been widely praised all over the world. The concept is also very advanced.
It was previously revealed that Barcelona intends to invite Guardiola back to replace Mourinho. Although it was denied by Guardiola's agent brother, it still attracted the attention of Manchester City management.
After negotiations, the two parties finally reached an agreement. Guardiola successfully renewed his contract with Manchester City at a sky-high annual salary of 15 million pounds, making him the highest-paid head coach in the world. At the same time, he will also coach at Manchester City.
By 2015.
Manchester City's official website released photos of the signings of Guardiola, Soriano and Begiristain, and published a few words from Guardiola. The Spanish head coach expressed his expectations for the prospect of coaching Manchester City.
Guardiola said that there are the best players here, a united locker room, and professional management. He believes that it is difficult for any other team in the world to reach the heights of Manchester City, so he is happy to continue to stay.
Manchester City, continue to lead the team to success.
The Manchester City coach said that he does not think Manchester City is guaranteed to win the Premier League. He said that the team's challenge in the second half is still very huge, but this is also the most fascinating part of the Premier League. Accepting such a challenge is full of motivation and will continue to encourage the players.
Coach, motivate players to produce better performance and status.
Finally, Guardiola thanked the management and coaching staff, and also specifically named Su Dong to express his gratitude to Su Dong. Especially after Su Dong joined, he said that he had received strong support and support from Su Dong.
help.
"He played a vital role in our management of the dressing room. To a certain extent, he is the manager of the Manchester City dressing room, and I am very touched by his support for me."
A simple sentence, but it has revealed the relationship between Guardiola and Su Dong.
It can be said that the two have achieved mutual success and jointly created Manchester City's peak performance in the past two seasons.
…
Coincidentally, the day after the official announcement of Guardiola's contract extension, Manchester City officially announced that it had formally reached a contract extension agreement with Su Dong, stating that Su Dong would continue to stay at Manchester City until his retirement.
"We hope he can play until he is forty years old, or even more. With his current physical condition and his self-discipline, we believe he can do it. He will become a monument and a monument in the history of Manchester City and even English football.
Benchmark.”
General Manager Soriano spoke highly of Su Dong's contract extension and also said that with Su Dong's promotion, Manchester City's global expansion has achieved considerable development. He firmly believes that Manchester City will soon become the most influential in the world.

Su Dong also accepted an interview with Manchester City's official website and expressed his gratitude for the contract extension. He said that he was very happy at Manchester City. From the management to the coaching staff to the players and finally to the fans, everyone made him feel very comfortable.
There's no reason why he shouldn't stay at Manchester City.
Like Guardiola, Su Dong also reminded the team that they must not be blindly arrogant.
"We Chinese have a saying, a person who travels a hundred miles can only travel half a mile."
"It means that if you want to walk a hundred miles, you will only walk half way to 90 kilometers. The last ten kilometers are the most important and the most difficult."
Su Dong called on all Manchester City players to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. "Before we get the championship trophy, we must maintain a sense of urgency and must not be careless at all, because our competitors are chasing after us."
Regarding his renewal of contract with Manchester City, Su Dong said that it is difficult to say whether it is a lifetime contract. He hopes that he can contribute more to Manchester City, but if one day in the future, Manchester City does not need him and feels that neither party is suitable, then
He will choose to leave with dignity rather than stay with the team.
As for whether he will retire or switch to another team at that time, he can't say yet.
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
But one thing is certain, that is Manchester City will become the team that Su Dong has played for the longest time in his career.
Of course, the conditions offered by Manchester City are also the most generous.
Although the specific annual salary of Su Dong's renewed contract and the signing fee have not been disclosed to the outside world, the outside media are still speculating that after Su Dong renews his contract with Manchester City, his annual salary will increase by 50% on the original basis, and this is after tax.
.
It can be said that Manchester City also spent a lot of money to keep Su Dong.
But this is understandable, because Su Dong is now Manchester City's core competitiveness.
Don't look at the fact that when Su Dong was here, players such as Dzeko and Aguero scored goals, especially Aguero, who scored a lot, but in reality? When Su Dong is gone, the team is in trouble
, Dzeko and Aguero both surrendered, and in the end it was up to Su Dong to resolve the battle.
Regarding this point, whether it is Manchester City fans, the outside media, or even the inside of the Manchester City locker room, they have already concluded this, so they all agree that Su Dong should get the highest score in the team, even an astonishingly high score.
annual salary.
His strength is there, is it okay if you don't accept it?
…
Regarding Manchester City's renewal of Sudon and Guardiola's contracts, the response from the players in the locker room, the media outside, and the fans has been very positive.
The Mirror said that after Manchester City completed the contract renewal of two core and soul figures, the Premier League championship has basically been obtained.
British media said that the importance of Su Dongpo and Guardiola to Manchester City is self-evident, and Manchester City's progress in the past two seasons is also obvious to all. Today's Manchester City is already a competitive team in Europe. Renew Su Dongpo's contract.

After a start, the team will go one step further and renew the contracts of those players within the team who have made great contributions and played an obvious role.
"We are a very young team. Our first team only has two or three players over 30 years old. The oldest player in the main lineup is 28 years old. This gives us reason to believe that there are still more players in the team.
There is room for further improvement and we can perform better.”
Begiristain said that the Manchester City management will further tap the potential of the team, improve the enthusiasm of the players, and the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the team.

The two contract extensions before Christmas are undoubtedly the best Christmas gifts. They triggered heated discussions, but made Christmas seem a bit dull. After all, the team had a day off and everyone went home to reunite.
But on the morning after Christmas, everyone had to leave their warm and comfortable homes and report to the cold Carrington training base. They boarded the team bus and set off south to the West Coast, 150 kilometers away.
Bromidge.
This town is located northwest of Birmingham, about an hour's drive from Manchester.
The game is held in the afternoon, which is also a big test for Manchester City.
No one wants to leave their family early in the morning the day after Christmas and have to go to an away game.
More importantly, we had just had the Christmas holiday, and everyone was in a very relaxed and happy mood. Many people were even seriously out of shape for the game. This resulted in the game on the day after Christmas, especially the away game, often
It will become a hotbed of unpopularity and the hardest hit area for all strong teams to fail.
Sure enough, when Manchester City arrived at West Bromwich, they received news from further south in London. Chelsea drew with Fulham 1-1 at home.
This west London derby ended with a handshake and a draw, but this is definitely not a good thing for Chelsea.
Villas-Boas' position as coach has been shaken once again!
After a disastrous defeat at home to Manchester City, Chelsea had three consecutive draws, and all three games were 1-1. This is obviously not a good sign, especially with the current Christmas devil schedule, such consecutive games will not be possible at all.
Give the team any chance to breathe, and it's very likely that they will lose again and again.
Manchester City is the second game of this round, and Everton also plays an away game against Sunderland.
The head coach of West Bromwich Albion is former Liverpool coach Roy Hodgson. This old coach is also a Premier League veteran with very rich coaching experience. His coaching ability is nothing to say. He got the job within a month after he was dismissed from Liverpool.
His ability as coach of West Bromwich Albion is evident.
Being familiar with the Premier League, Hodgson knows very well how to use the home advantage on Boxing Day to beat away teams, even if they are as strong as Manchester City, the players' minds are not in the game.
After the opening, West Bromwich Albion took the initiative, disrupting Manchester City's desire to control the ball and rhythm of the game, making Manchester City's start seem a bit passive. In addition, the players were somewhat out of shape, resulting in the team's poor start.
Very messy.
After an early start, Hodgson's team gave up when Manchester City tried to counterattack. When Manchester City tried to counterattack, they retreated decisively and organized a tight defensive formation, allowing Manchester City to press forward and attack, while they concentrated on waiting for opportunities to counterattack.
Hodgson knows very well that in a game like Boxing Day, it is human nature for players to be in poor condition. As long as Manchester City makes a mistake, it is an opportunity for West Bromwich Albion.
Of course, the premise is that the Knickerbockers' defense must be able to stop Su Dong.
